Taps

Taps did play The Indians had fled And Custer lay there dead The soldiers lay all around But none could hear the bugle sound If you want to hear What was told to me Read my Ghost Soldier pages 1-2-3 They're in my poems on page 3 If I disappoint you I apologize For the story is quite long We don't always have time to waste On some one else's song. Something just seemed to be urging me To write this poem today Perhaps because I've spent so much time With thoughts of yesterday Cile Beer July 13, 2010
